An Upward Look
A Daily Devotional Observation from God's Word
November 28
SCRIPTURE VERSE FOR TODAYNot that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; (2 Corinthians 3:5)
We are so helpless without God. When praised, we often want to swell our chests with pride and say, “Yes, indeed I did quite well, didn’t I?” The truth is that without the blessings of the Lord I would be a failure. We who work for the Lord must realize that the only way we can be a blessing is by the help and grace of God. He enables us. He gives us strength beyond our own. He gives us wisdom beyond that of humans so that we might succeed. If we try to go on our own without the Lord, we will fall flat on our faces and then realize that our sufficiency is of God! ~
